[quote=Anonymous]Isn't this a residential rehab? Without knowing anything about the specifics of this program, I wouldn't choose a rehab for someone who has mental health problems and incidentally has some drug problems. No matter what they say, the real viewpoint of most so-called dual diagnosis rehabs is that the mental health problems are caused by drug use. While it is true that sometimes drug use triggers mental health problems, in many, many cases the mental health problems precede the drug use, which is a form of self-medication. Having had to research this (unfortunately), I have found that there are very, very few dual diagnosis places that actually are set up to deal directly with mental health problems. Almost all therapy is group therapy and even when you go to the most expensive of these rehabs you are lucky to get individual therapy once a week. They tend to be staffed by drug counselors, often former addicts themselves, and not by real therapists.[/quote]
